Overlook Awarded $10M GSA Order For Joint Navigation Warfare Center Support
The United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) has awarded Overlook Systems Technologies, Inc. of Vienna, Virginia, a two-year GSA Order (base year plus option) for technical support to the Joint Navigation Warfare Center (JNWC) at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. Overlook selected Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) as a teammate to provide support in response to USSTRATCOM’s June 2007 solicitation. The award coincides with the transition of the JNWC from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration to USSTRATCOM on 1 October 2007.
The JNWC was chartered in October 2004 by the Deputy Secretary of Defense. Its mission is to integrate Navigation Warfare (Navwar) concepts across the Department of Defense (DoD) with a focus on operational-level warfighter support. The JNWC assesses vulnerabilities in Position, Navigation & Timing dependent systems and develops tactics, techniques, procedures and mitigation strategies to enable combat effectiveness of fielded DoD operational systems.
Overlook’s Director of New Mexico Operations, Jim Wilson, and on-site Program Manager, Tom Kennedy, see this contract award as a reflection of the confidence the government has in Overlook to support a growing joint organization with a warfighter focus on a dynamic and evolving mission area. In response to the announcement, Kennedy noted that "Overlook has been providing world-class Navwar support to the DoD since the inception of the Navwar concept. The Overlook/SAIC team is proud to have been awarded this contract and looks forward to continuing to support the JNWC with its signature expertise and professionalism."
